Workers in the field will have iPhones with custom software to help collect data. Satellite images are also being used to determine what areas have grown since the last census in 2010.

Juul is now a $10 billion business. Yahoo reports that after an initial venture capital investment, it took just seven months to reach that milestone. That's four times faster than Facebook. But fortunes could change as the e-cigarette company faces scrutiny from the FDA.
